“Parotti’s expertly detailed accounts make for constant tension.” —The Historical Novels Review 
 
Phillip Parotti’s new novel chronicles the fast-paced action of a collection of American submarine chasers as they battle to reduce the German U-Boat menace in the English Channel during the last year of World War I. Lieutenant (junior grade) Ben Snow takes a commission in the United States Naval Reserve, and whips a dissolute crew into fighting shape. They then take their little submarine chaser, SC 65X, out into the English Channel to hunt for German U-boats in the midst of the worst winter in more than fifty years. Their achievements climax with the sinking of a German submarine and taking sixteen of her crew prisoner. 
 
When the war ends on 11 November 1918, the chaser crews expect to return home, but their exposure to danger is by no means concluded. Instead, the chasers are tasked with exploding the 70,000 dangerous mines planted in the North Sea Mine Barrage. Having survived the war, will Ben and his crew survive the peace?

    What if a single day could expose the quiet unraveling of a man who believes he has everything under control? In “Mr. Reginald Peacock’s Day” by Katherine Mansfield, you follow a respected, self-assured teacher whose orderly world begins to fracture beneath the surface. As Mr. Peacock moves through the routines of his day - his classroom, his colleagues, his home - small disturbances ripple outward, revealing tensions he would rather ignore. Beneath his cultivated manners and professional authority lies a growing sense of unease and emotional isolation. Mansfield exposes the fragile pride of a man clinging to respectability, and the widening gap between appearance and truth. With her signature psychological insight, she transforms ordinary moments into sharp revelations. Press play and step into one of Mansfield’s most incisive studies of character - where routine becomes reckoning, and a single day brings a carefully maintained identity into question.
